Africa has many problems, money problems, diseases, and etc. Well, above of all of theses things, there is another problem. It might be the smallest thing, but it can cause the biggest problems: mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can carry parasites that can cause a disease called malaria. Once the mosquito bites you, the parasite can get into your bloodstream.
Other countries have the same problem but it’s either under control or simply gone. In Africa, it’s still a very big problem.
There has been a program called “No More Malaria” created just for helping the people in Africa to prevent this disease. People make mosquito nets. The mosquito nets keep the mosquitoes away while your sleeping. A couple people could fit under a mosquito net at a time.
The mosquito nets have mad a big difference. They have helped a lot of kids from getting sick.
There have been many vaccines created but not one for malaria yet. Until then, the mosquito nets are the only hope.
